You’ve been waiting 9 months for this moment.
Scratch that. You’ve been waiting a lifetime.
And the journey to this moment hasn’t been easy. There’s been longing and hoping. There’s been sickness (Morning sickness? Try all day sickness.) There’s been sacrifice (No deli meat. No hot baths. Blood work. Stretch marks!) There’s been pain (heartburn, back pain, swollen ankles). And maybe there’s even been loss. But the day is finally here. Today you get to meet your baby.
Now imagine… you pull your baby to your chest and hold her for the first time. All the longing, sickness, sacrifice, pain and loss have been washed away by a wave of profound, immediate, unconditional love. You look up at your partner and you know they feel the same way. You both have tears running down your cheeks. You both know that neither one of you has ever felt a love like this. Life will never be the same.
Is this your birth story? Let me be there to document it.
Because you only get one chance to capture the moment you meet your baby.

Wow this is amazing I would have absolutely loved this when I had my two
February 13th, 2019 at 7:02 pm
Right? I would have loved it too. It wasn’t really a thing even 5 years ago!
February 13th, 2019 at 9:56 pm
What an incredible way to capture a very special time. There is so much I don’t remember now, I think your work would keep the memory alive.
February 14th, 2019 at 2:03 pm
That is the hope! I compare this moment to your wedding…such an important day, but it goes by so fast! You probably had a photographer at your wedding so you could capture the memories…so why not your birth?
February 13th, 2019 at 10:25 pm
I really wish I took more pictures and better notes of my pregnancy. It was 12 years ago and thr time flies by so quick!
February 14th, 2019 at 2:02 pm
It really does. I want to preserve every memory I can!
February 14th, 2019 at 4:13 am
oh my gosh i squealed when I saw the baby!!!!! So cute!! I would love to have this moment documented for my future kids
February 14th, 2019 at 2:02 pm
I know, he was so squishable. All TEN POUNDS of him! And you should definitely consider it!
February 14th, 2019 at 1:59 pm
I gave birth to my son 12 years ago. It must be so nice if there is someone who captured that special milestone in our life. That is a very fantastic deal!
February 14th, 2019 at 2:01 pm
I know! It makes me want to have another one just so I can take pictures! 🙂
February 14th, 2019 at 3:02 pm
I so agree. Photos say a million words When I look back on my birth photos it is just so moving
February 14th, 2019 at 4:35 pm
You got them done? GOOD FOR YOU! I’m seriously so jealous.
February 14th, 2019 at 4:06 pm
Wow, this is honestly going to be beautiful. I can’t wait to see it unfold when you start shooting them like seriously. I cannot wait.
February 14th, 2019 at 4:37 pm
Aww, thank you so much! I’m so excited to start sharing them.
February 14th, 2019 at 4:17 pm
The picture is the cutest thing ever! I don’t have kids yet, soon i hope.

Parenthood is every single adjective and emotion you can think of…but it’s worth it! <3
February 14th, 2019 at 6:45 pm
I am not yet a mother but when I do i know i’ll want pictures. This picture is so cute! Definitely captures the moment.
February 15th, 2019 at 2:41 pm
Oh good! Yes, please get pictures taken!
February 14th, 2019 at 7:19 pm
I had newborn shots done of all three of our kids, but I wish I would have documented their birth in some fashion. Such a sentimental treasure to have!
February 15th, 2019 at 2:40 pm
I agree, but I’m so happy that you got newborn shots done!
February 15th, 2019 at 3:23 am
I can’t wait to see all the photographs from the birth story you end up doing! my biggest regret when I had my last baby at 42 was not getting someone to take photos while I was pregnant and when my baby was born!
February 15th, 2019 at 2:39 pm
I have those same regrets…and I’m a photographer! I guess that’s part of the reason I want to do this…I don’t want other people to make the same mistake!
February 15th, 2019 at 4:17 am
This is such a sweet moment. I remember when our boys were born. It still feels like it was just yesterday.
February 15th, 2019 at 2:38 pm
But so far away at the same time! I just want to remember every little detail of every day with my kids. It’s going by so quickly!
February 15th, 2019 at 12:14 pm
Parenting is the job that we can never call it to quit. Every day as a parent, we learn together with the growing child. This is call life I suppose and make us complete.
February 15th, 2019 at 2:37 pm
This is so true!
February 15th, 2019 at 2:51 pm
Hmmm! I am thinking that the person has to be very bold to capture images of something so intimate as birthing. Interesting to see.
February 15th, 2019 at 3:52 pm
AAAWWW capturing the moment between a mother and a child is so priceless!
February 15th, 2019 at 7:50 pm
You really do this!? So nice! That is something amazing!
February 15th, 2019 at 10:24 pm
How amazing would it be to have some great birth photography. Time flies and it’s nice to look back on special moments.
February 16th, 2019 at 1:49 am
This sounds like a great opportunity to hear a variety of stories. I would love to see what you find.
February 16th, 2019 at 2:42 am
I love that photographing the birth is a thing now. I wish that I had someone there to document my children’s births in order to remember it.
February 17th, 2019 at 10:38 pm
So a hard moment to capture the quite time and reflection after birth, you did it beautifully! x
